Fish Crackers
A free-verse poem about a food product I enjoyed having during my childhood and teen years
Dipping a chip
one at a time
in a bowl of vinegar;
an extraordinary combination.
Snacking and chewing,
mindfully and joyfully
in the brown-painted kitchen;
an uninterrupted moment.
The taste of The Philippines
arrives securely in Canada.
The smell of the islands
is invited to the cities.

Excerpt from Up and Down the Ladder
Dear friends, I'm extremely happy to inform you that I've published and sold a paperback poetry book on Amazon. Since Feburary 24th 2022, I've been a proud, driven and passionate published poet! For my entire life, I've dreamed of publishing at least 1 book that people can purchase and read, and that day finally came. I finally crossed it off my "mental bucket list" of things I want to accomplish and create in life.
